End of Sale & End of Life Announcement for Older Versions of EEPC and EEMac

End of Sale & End of Life Announcement for Older Versions of EEPC and EEMac

Dear Customers,

Today I am announcing the End of Sale (EOS) and End of Life (EOL) for several older versions of McAfee Endpoint Encryption for PC (EEPC) and McAfee Endpoint Encryption for Mac (EEMac). The End of Life date should supply you with ample time to migrate to a newer version or the latest version of EEPC/EEMac, v7.

EEPC Announcement Specifics

The EOS and EOL dates are as follows:

EOS; effective March 31, 2013 for the versions noted below.

EOL; effective March 31, 2014 for the versions noted below.

The affected EEPC versions for EOS and EOL are:

5.2.0 through 5.2.5 versions

5.2.8 through 5.2.11 versions

All versions of 6.1.x

All versions of 6.2.x

The affected EEMac versions for EOS and EOL are:

All versions of 1.1.x

All versions of 6.2.x

Please note that EEPC version 5.2.6 and 5.2.12 are excluded from this announcement and will not be affected by the End of Sale or End of Life at this time.

If you are using the legacy EEPC v5.x version, you will have a choice on how to migrate to a newer EEPC version. Your two options are as follows:

utilize an optimized one-step migration process to v7.0 (preferred), or

upgrade to v5.2.12.*

Customers should seriously consider choosing option 1, the migration to version 7.0. We have worked hard to specifically provide customers with a straightforward one-step migration opportunity from v5.2.x (all shipping versions at time of writing) to v7.0. Option 1 also relieves you of any concern about future EOL announcements in 2013.

*Please note that the End Of Life announcement for all remaining v5.x releases will be made before year-end 2013.

Migration for ePO Managed EEPC (EEPC v6.x)

This announcement will start the End of Life all EEPC v6.x versions. Customers should upgrade to EEPC v7.0.

Migration for EEMac (EEMac v1.1.x, v6.2.x)

This announcement will start the End of Life all EEMac versions below v7.0. Customers should upgrade to EEMac v7.0

Benefits of Migrating to EEPC/EEMac v7.0

Version 7.0 is a major leap forward in features, functionality and performance. Major reasons to move to v7.0 are:
